B) Uncouplers dissipate the electrochemical gradient but electron transport continues without ATP production.
C) Inhibitors disrupt electron flow as well as ATP synthesis.
D) A proton gradient alone without a corresponding energy input is not sufficient to drive the synthesis of ATP.
E) ATP synthesis occurs via simultaneous conformational changes in protein subunits containing catalytic sites.
